SPECIAL ABILITIES

Intimidating Charge (Ex)

When a giant frilled lizard charges, it hisses ferociously, extends its neck frills, and darts forward on its hind legs, increasing its base speed to 50 feet for that round. In addition to the normal effects of a charge, the creature charged must make a DC 13 Will save or be shaken for 1d6 rounds. This is a fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
ECOLOGY
Environment warm forest, plains, or hills
Organization solitary, pair, or pack (3–8)
Treasure none

This lizard is a true behemoth—an apex predator found in tropical regions. Many species of giant lizard exist—other species lack this lizard’s intimidating charge special ability but might have other special attacks like grab, trip, constrict (with a bite), or pounce.
